Note sent to the White House

Today I sent this to the White House. Every once in awhile I send along a good idea, but they may think I am a crazy hippie with this one! I sent it anyway.

"We need to take Michelle Obama’s healthy eating plan a few
steps further.I figured this out:The government pays farmers money in
subsidies to abuse and kill animals so we can buy the meat cheaply, to become
overweight and possibly sick from diseases due to animal overcrowding and waste,
so we will need to buy medicines and make hospital visits, thereby supporting
that industry and the health care industry; all the while causing more climate
change.I probably could think of more
in this primitive cycle of feeding people via animal slavery.I do not see anything right with it!It fits the definition of “a racket” in that
those who advocate for it pretend that it does good, when it is harmful.
We must become more enlightened, more moral, and urge the country’s people to
become as close to vegan as they can.The
government can implement this “change for good.”You can urge farmers to grow grain crops for
people’s consumption.You can stop these
subsidies for beef, pork, chicken, turkey and fish.You can research Dr. McDougall’s many
articles on his web site and other doctors who advocate a low fat, plant based
diet.(We have known meat causes Cancer
for 100 years!)
Now I will throw the Founding Fathers at our present government:our major Founding Fathers were visionaries
who put their enlightenment thoughts into action.They were bold and progressive, so doing the
same ol’-same ol’ is not what our country is about.
Please bring our country up to standards on morality.Have them care outside of themselves, outside
of their own species.Teach them to look
globally at health issues, food issues and environmental issues.It will be obvious that meat and dairy must
go."

About Me

I became an atheist thanks to YouTube! For years I hovered between having a God, being "spiritual" and being agnostic - in fact, most of my life. There was only a short period of time when I was a Jesus Freak along with my brother, but I did not fit in with his group. I attended a religious college for two years and felt like the "odd woman out" there as well. One day on the main page of AOL there was a picture of Kirk Cameron and another picture of a pretty young blond woman with curly long hair and a cute little chin. They said she got more "hits" on YouTube than Kirk did! Of course, it was Zomgitscriss! I watched her video and thought, "You know, I think like she does, but she is a lot smarter than I am!" I watched more of her videos, and she said it was just a hop, skip and jump from agnosticism to atheism. I thought, "Oh, I could never be an atheist - it's such a harsh word!" I decided to look at her favorites and saw a big guy with long hair who looked like he belonged in a motorcycle gang. I smirked and thought, "This will be good - let's see what he has to say," thinking he had to sound dumb. It turned out to be Aron Ra, and I was treated to video after video about evolution, taxonomy and phylogeny - subjects I knew nothing about! What an education! One day, I clicked on Pangeaprogress' videos. I saw his beautiful nature videos of Africa. Suddenly, a pack of lions surrounded an antelope and started eating her, slowly, starting at the hips and wherever they could bite. I was totally shocked. I had been overprotected a good share of my life, and my mother always told me that animals "always went right for the neck and the death was over in an instant." Well, it wasn't. From that moment on, I was an atheist. No God could sit by and watch such cruelty and pain and suffering and allow it to happen. No excuses. This is how YouTube converted me, and my eyes have been opened to so many new ideas thanks to the Internet!
